What guild will you choose?

[Gary Lynch]

Assuming you get a choice at the Pre Release, what guild will you pick and why?

From what we have seen in spoilers so far Golgari looks the strongest overall.

Azorius looks like it has the most cards I will need for constructed.

Izzet looks like it has one of the biggest limited bombs, could be worth a gamble.

[Raymond Wat]

Another word, any will do :-P.

 

[Charlie Grover]

the one with the most cubeable prerelease card/commander playable as itll go up in value

[Ben Titmarsh]

You get to choose at TGC and I went for Rakdos. Despite Selesyna and Golgari being my preferred colour combinations, BR has just gotta be better for removal right?

NB I have not looked at the spolier!

[Peter Dun]

depends what the pre-release cards are.... none of the 3 guilds I like are in this set...

Orzhov

Simic

Gruul

I suspect I will most enjoy the selesnya playstyle though....

Prerelease cards are here ^

Personally I'm going for Azorius, as Dimir isn't available yet!

[Thomas David Baker]

I pre-reg'ed with Golgari and Izzet and then failed to pre-reg with Azorius for the Sunday as Jason's form was broken.  I figure I want to be in all the prereleases I can be :)

Hypersonic Dragon looks like the most powerful (for the mana, obv) of the prere cards?  A 4/4 for 4 never goes amiss also.  And the others are bombs, but slower.  I hadn't seen these when I registered I just picked combinations that I thought would be fun.

Must have a plan to beat the Rakdos bomb and the Azorius bomb in any deck you make, I guess.

[Kieran Symington]

I think it's probably right to play different guilds over the weekend, though I just went crazy and picked Rakdos for all three. Mostly because I like their flavour. Plus cheap guys backed up with removal has always been a pretty decent limited strategy. Not sure how you ever beat Azorius if they just curve out Detain creatures, though!

[Tom Reeve]

Of the five, four are really high on raw power level, and the fifth (the Golgari one) makes what should be a bunch of already good cards in your deck absolutely terrifying. Hypersonic Dragon seems like it will probably end games quickest reliably, with Archon and Hellsteed being slower but sturdier. Grove has the bonus of being a land, but is pretty expensive to get out and maybe the easiest to trade with/remove (being killed by bounce.)

Izzet

[Gary Lynch]

Thanks for the link Tom, didnt know they had shown the Pre Release cards.

Based on that for me its definatly Azorious or Izzet.

[Simon O'Keeffe]

Well looks like I'll be choosing Selesnya, as that is all that is left for preregistering!
